Football: Villas-Boas makes Champions League pledge Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:03 PM PDT 2011/07/19 Ajitpal Singh ajitpalsingh@nst.com.my National Under-23 coach Ong Kim Swee (left) is ready to give Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas a run for his money when their charges clash at the National Stadium on Thursday. — Picture by Yong Chee Choong CHELSEA manager Andre Villas-Boas, who faces the daunting task of providing the prize that club owner Roman Abramovich covets most, the Champions League, hopes to fulfil the wishes of his new team as soon as possible. "Many teams try to win the title each year. The same teams have been consistently reaching the Champions League semi-finals of late," said Villas-Boas in Bandar Utama yesterday. "Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea have been permanently in the semi-finals. "It is tough in the crucial stages of the Champions League as anything can happen. But it has not happened well for Chelsea but there is no reason why we can't win it." The 33-year-old was once an assistant to Jose Mourinho during his time at Stamford Bridge and knows of the massive burden of expectations on him. Asked whether he was under tremendous pressure to guide Chelsea to titles, the Portuguese said it was nothing new in football. "As a manager, I need to accept these challenges as it is part of football. I have to keep working hard to get my players to play their best football," he said. Villas-Boas is in no rush to go into the transfer market though. "There is no urgency to buy players for now. I will continue to evaluate my players and test them as I have good quality in my squad," said Villas-Boas, who refused to confirm whether Chelsea were putting in a bid for Tottenham Hotspur's Luka Modric. Villas-Boas has created a positive impression in his first two weeks in charge, placing greater emphasis on ball work in training and pursuing a policy of dialogue and inclusion. "Some players in my squad need to get their confidence back before the new season. The Asia Tour offers me the perfect avenue to see what my players can offer. "My job is to find solutions in getting the right balance to ensure success. It is not about what I can offer to my players ...it is about what they can offer me. "All these players are experienced and have won a lot in their careers," he added. Villas-Boas said he will test all 26 players in Thursday's friendly against Malaysia. "I will play different players in each half as I need to test all of them. I need to find the right blend and also look at my options. "The 15-day pre-season Asia Tour is hectic but it allows me to test new things and also get to know the players better," he added. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Football: Duo back new boss for Chelsea success Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:01 PM PDT Football: Duo back new boss for Chelsea success 2011/07/19 Ajitpal Singh ajitpalsingh@nst.com.my ENGLAND international Frank Lampard and Branislav Ivanovic are both confident Chelsea's new manager Andre Villas-Boas will lead the Blues to success when the English Premier League (EPL) season starts. Lampard said Villas-Boas is the ideal man for the Chelsea job. "His arrival is a fresh start for all of us. We are going through new training methods, different from last season. We are all enjoying our pre-season training," said Lampard yesterday. "There is a lot of excitement in the squad with him as manager. I believe we will have a good outing in the coming season." The 33-year-old said Villas-Boas' training methods are intense but effective. "Everyone in the squad is focused on training. We are working hard to get prepared for the new season. "Villas-Boas, of course, has new rules and regulations but it is normal for new managers to implement new things. "It is also good that our new manager has promised not many changes in the squad. We are all motivated for the new challenge," added the attacking midfielder. Lampard said his teammates will need to learn from last season's failure to turn the club's fortunes around in the new season. "We need to keep focused and avoid the bad patches. We need to make sure we are ready for the challenge ahead as Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool have all strengthened their teams," he added. Ivanovic, a Serbian defender, said his teammates' confidence has got better since the arrival of Villas-Boas. "We are discovering new things in training. He is a coach with many ideas. We have all responded well to his methods," said Ivanovic. "We should be able to absorb everything before the new season begins." Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

MAKING HEADS TURN Posted: 17 Jul 2011 10:52 AM PDT MAKING HEADS TURN A master craftsman who improvised the art of making lion heads shows his skills at an arts festival WEARING a black T-shirt and blue jeans, Master Siow Ho Phiew, 56, looked fighting fit. Sporting close-shaven hair and a flowing beard, he even resembled a traditional kung fu master or sifu. Siow was in Johor Baru as a guest at the Tan Hiok Nee Cultural Street to demonstrate the art of making lion heads at the 8th Johor Baru Arts Festival. The martial arts master and lion dance exponent has put Malaysia on the map in lion dance circles because of his made in Malaysia lion heads, which are manufactured by WSH Dragon & Lion Arts, a business founded by Siow. His skills in the art is keeping alive an important cultural legacy that is contributing to our cultural heritage. Thirty years of practising kung fu and training award-winning lion dance troops was evident as he demonstrated how flexible lengths of rattan are secured with adhesive tape and fastened onto an aluminium base frame. He lifted the structure up to show how light this version is compared with traditional lion head frames that were made from bamboo strips. These lion heads have gained worldwide acceptance because they are not only lighter but more durable. Born in Pulau Ketam, Selangor, to a family of poultry and fruit farmers, Siow was a farmer with a hobby in lion dancing and Shaolin kung fu since he was 18 years old. He became a kung fu master when he was 24 and by 30, he gave up farming to focus on his passion for lion dances. In 1978, Siow and some of his friends formed their Kok Ngai Lion Dance Troupe. But because the lion head from China was worn and beyond repair, they decided to create a lion head of their own. He remembered how he took apart an old lion head to uncover its structure and materials before modifying it to make his lion head with local materials. After experimenting with various materials, he discovered that using sustainable rattan and self-adhesive tape has inherent merits over traditional materials. His passion for lion dancing did not wane with his foray into creating lion heads. Instead, it developed further when he helped organise the first National Lion Dance Championship in 1983. He was also instrumental in organising the inaugural World Lion Dance Championship in 1984. "You can't change tradition!" Siow repeated the words of his critics who were doubtful about his work when he made an early version of his lion head. Making a lion head for one's troupe was interesting and fun, but to make it for others was something else altogether. So in 1986, Siow set up his lion head-making business and the demand for his lion heads, locally and abroad, gradually increased to about 500 heads a year. He has trained various Malaysian lion dance troupes such as the award-winning Kun Seng Keng troupe from Muar, the Kuan Loke troupe from Selangor, the Hong Tek troupe from Kedah, the Hong Tek troupe from Sabah and the Limbang Hong Tek troupe from Sarawak. Siow also trains overseas troupes from Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, Australia, Canada and Mexico. "When many people say my lion heads are good, then only will I acknowledge that they are good," he said. Some have pointed out that if his lion heads are so durable, then he will not have regular business. However, Siow is confident that his brand, known for its fine workmanship in handmade lion heads, will remain popular simply through word of mouth. When his exhibition opened at 49 Jalan Tan Hiok Nee earlier this month, it attracted many curious visitors. They included JB Arts Festival patron and member of parliament for Johor Baru, Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad, and the Teochew Eight Districts Association director Tan Chai Puan.

All for the love of literature, history Posted: 17 Jul 2011 08:21 AM PDT All for the love of literature, history MY strong interest in literature and history was sparked off during my school days at the Kluang High School. My proficiency in my school subjects, in particular Malay and English, was due to the teaching approach used by stern but dedicated teachers. Upon completing my upper secondary education, my passion for literature and history deepened after I was accepted as a teacher trainee at the Institut Perguruan Bahasa, a language institute. The three-year course strengthened my languages skills. I was a Malay language and history teacher in my first posting at the Simpang Ampat Secondary School in Perlis. My three-year stint there was indeed memorable. I set up literary and debating societies, language camps and organised essay-writing competitions for the students. My next five-year stint was as a language teacher at Sekolah Aminuddin Baki (SAB), Johor Baru, in the mid-60s. There, I met a group of language teachers, most of whom were in my age group. They were friendly and accommodating. Among them were the Yayasan Warisan Johor (YWJ) deputy director Md Ismail Zam Zam, fondly known as Zam Ismail, Karim Zahari, Rajendran R. Manickam and Ng Chin Tiong. We had an understanding principal, the late Goh Teng Huat. Zam Ismail was my closest compatriot. He was a diligent teacher and a writer of several Malay poetry books and novels. We frequently exchanged views on how to improve our teaching approach during free periods at the teachers' room. It was at SAB where I met my wife, Rokiyah Ismail, then a trainee teacher from Temenggong Ibrahim Teachers' College, Johor Baru. In the mid-70s, I moved to Kuala Terengganu after being offered the post of information technology education lecturer at the now defunct Pasir Panjang Teachers' College. Kuala Terengganu was Rokiyah's hometown and the lifestyle there during that era was cosy and easy-going. Nevertheless, my skills in language and history started to fade, though not seriously during my five years at the college. In 1983, I returned to campus life again, taking a course in Malay as a First Language (PBMP) at Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (UPM), (now Universiti Putra Malaysia), Serdang. In 1986, after gaining an honours degree from UPM, I moved back to Johor Baru where I was the Malay Studies lecturer-cum-co-curriculum secretary at Mohd Khalid Teachers College (MPMK). As adviser to MPMK's clubs and societies, I frequently helped organised dramas, theatres, and performances. In 1994, Lady Luck was again on my side when I was granted the post of attache and consul at the Consulate of Malaysia and Malaysian Students' Department (MSD) in Melbourne, Australia. The posting, which spanned over three years, was indeed unforgettable. Memorable occasions included festive gatherings for Malaysian students, organising traditional Malaysian culture performances for the Australian community and visits by prominent Malaysian leaders. I resumed my duties at MPMK after my posting in Australia but it only lasted slightly more than a year as the college ceased its operations in 1999. It was closed because the premises did not meet the requirements of an advanced teachers training institute. An entourage of lecturers from MPMK, and I, crossed over to the nearby Temenggong Ibrahim Teachers Institute (IPTI), instantly doubling the strength of academic staff there. But my stint at IPTI was shortlived. The following year, I retired. Thanks to my friend Zam Ismail, I got a job at YWJ. This year is my 11th as assistant director and head of the Literary and Historical division of YWJ. Our division produces documents and publications on the history of the state's prominent figures, historical places, monuments and landmarks for the public. Recently, a group of YWJ researchers and officers from my division went to London for a 12-day working trip. The tour was sponsored by the state government. Among the places which we visited were the British Library and the grave of Datuk Seri Amar di Raja, a prominent figure during the reign of Sultan Abu Bakar, the founder of modern Johor. Dzul Karnain Asmawi lives in Taman Perling with his wife Rokiyah Ismail. They have two sons and a daughter.

Malaysian women 16th most stressed, study shows Posted: 17 Jul 2011 09:53 PM PDT Malaysian women 16th most stressed, study shows NEW YORK: Malaysian women rank 16th most stressed women in the world, according to a recent study on the stress levels which women worldwide are subjected to. Indian women rank as the world's most stressed women, says the study, prepared by the information and media company, Nielsen. The study shows that women in India live and work under considerable time pressure. Indian women are the most stressed (87 per cent), the study shows, closely followed by Mexican (74 per cent) and Russian women (69 per cent). In the developed countries, the stress level is the highest for women in Spain (66 per cent), France (65 per cent) and Italy (64 per cent). Malaysian women (44 per cent) rank 16th in the list while women in Thailand (45 per cent) share the 15th spot with South Korea (45 per cent). Japanese women (52 per cent) rank 12th while mainland Chinese women (51 per cent) rank 13th. The study, which researched the buying and other social behavioural patterns of women in 21 developing and emerging economies of the world, reveals that women all over the world feel stressed out, with women in the so-called emerging countries facing greater stress than women in the developed countries. According to India's "Economic Times", the greater stress levels of women in the newly industrialised countries can be attributed to the fact that in recent years, for example, in India, the corporate sector and the jobs have developed at an extremely fast pace whereas the society has stagnated with its traditional role patterns. -- BERNAMA Air your comment on this issue: Malaysian women 16th most stressed, study shows Log in with your Facebook account or use the form below to comment.

Football: Asia good for pre-season Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:16 PM PDT Chelsea's John Obi Mikel is looking forward to visiting Malaysia again after having played here in the club's 2008 Asia Tour. JOHN Obi Mikel reckons that Chelsea's matches during the Asia Tour will prove to be more important than playing against clubs in Europe. Chelsea have played two friendly matches during this pre-season, beating Wycombe 3-0 before snatching a 1-0 win against just-relegated Portsmouth. But Obi Mikel said the upcoming matches against Asian teams have got better potential of bearing fruit later on during the season proper. "We have played a couple of friendlies against Wycombe and Portsmouth already but I think the most important friendly matches will be those during our tour of Asia, " said the 24-year-old midfielder. "We will be in Asia for a long time. Most importantly, what the manager has been doing since he came in is to bring everyone together and bond the team. "This is what he has been working on and I think it's paying off really well. "It's good for team spirit to be away together. It's something (Jose) Mourinho used to do and did well, whereas the other managers, since, didn't do so much. The new manager obviously has some fresh ideas." The Nigerian is among some of the biggest names to make the Chelsea entourage for the match against Malaysia on Thursday at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil. Obi Mikel believes Chelsea fans in Malaysia will get a chance to watch every single player in action, thanks to the depth of quality in the squad. "It is going to be a tough trip, but obviously if we go with the full squad, then players can have rest. We will probably not have to play all of every game, so we can come back in good condition and be ready for the start of the season, which is what the manager wants. "What matters most is what we do on the pitch. If we can carry the bond onto the pitch, then everyone will want to play for each other and work for each other so we can succeed," Obi Mikel said, before adding jokingly that although the attention was always big in Asia with the likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba getting loads of attention, "some of us other ones can merge into the background". Obi Mikel said he was looking forward to returning to Malaysia after Chelsea's 2008 Asia Tour and recalled the warm hospitality. "It's a great experience and they (Malaysians) love us out there. The weather is always really hot, so we know it will be hard work. But it is great to see so many people giving us their support," Obi Mikel said.

Football: Safiq urges focus ahead of clash Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:12 PM PDT 2011/07/18 Ajitpal Singh ajitpalsingh@nst.com.my National team captain Safiq Rahim (front) has scored three goals in four matches. Malaysia will play Singapore on Saturday. CAPTAIN Safiq Rahim and striker Safee Sali are thrilled to have got their names on the score-sheet against an English Premier League (EPL) side. But the duo, who scored three goals between them against Liverpool on Saturday, prefer to stay focused for Saturday's first leg, second round match of the World Cup qualifiers against Singapore. Safiq scored from a well-taken free kick in the 42nd minute while Safee celebrated his return from a hamstring injury with a brace in the 79th and 82nd minute in Malaysia's 6-3 defeat to the 18-time EPL champions. "I scored from a brilliant free kick ... my third goal in four matches. My free kicks are getting better and better. I hope to continue my fine form when we face Singapore," said Safiq at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Saturday. "My goal was a result of a team effort. It is a dream to score a goal against a team like Liverpool but we, as a team, should forget about it as our focus should now be on the World Cup qualifiers." Safiq said his team must build on Saturday's performance for their match against Singapore. "We played better as a unit compared to our match against Arsenal. Everyone in the team played well but more importantly, our game did not collapse when Liverpool scored first from a penalty. "However, we did not play a brilliant game. It is important that we keep working hard," added the midfielder. Safee finally managed to translate his fine club form with Indonesia Super League side Pelita Jaya into two goals for Malaysia. "I finally scored after seven months without a goal for the national team since the AFF Cup. But more importantly, I had a good 15-minute workout after coming on as a substitute today (Saturday). "My hamstring also did not give me problems. It is a good sign. But I need to work on my fitness as I can't play a full match yet. "My goals against Liverpool showed that I've not lost my zest and sharpness." Safee, however, said his team will need to tighten their defence and work on other aspects of the game before meeting Singapore. "Our defenders need to work harder to get their act together. I think they should have enough time to get things right," added Safee. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.
